In a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Armed Forcesโ€™ successful execution of Operation Sindoor, at least 17 newborns in Uttar Pradeshโ€™s Kushinagar district have been named โ€˜Sindoorโ€™. The unique naming trend emerged after Indiaโ€™s retaliatory strike on terrorist bases in Pakistan, carried out in response to the deadly Pahalgam terror attack.

Most of these babies were born on May 9 and 10, just days after the operation, and their names now serve as living reminders of a moment that stirred patriotic fervor across the country. In Kushinagar, a region known for its deep-rooted traditions, the decision to name children โ€˜Sindoorโ€™ also marked a symbolic break from convention. In many Hindu households in eastern UP, names are typically chosen by the paternal aunt, but the emotion following Operation Sindoor has overruled long-held customs.

โ€œMy baby was born on May 9, two days after our brave soldiers avenged the Pahalgam attack. While I empathize with the bereaved families, I also wish to thank the soldiers who guard our borders. So, I named my daughter โ€˜Sindoorโ€™ as a tribute to them,โ€ said Neha Gupta, one of the mothers who chose the name.

The name โ€˜Sindoorโ€™, traditionally representing marital commitment among Hindu women, has now taken on broader symbolic meaning. Following the Pahalgam attack that claimed the lives of several soldiers, it is being embraced as a symbol of sacrifice, resilience, and national unity.

Dr R.K. Shahi, principal of Government Medical College (Autonomous) in Kushinagar, confirmed that 17 babies delivered at the hospital were named โ€˜Sindoorโ€™. โ€œSindoor has become a symbol of sacrifice and national unity after Indiaโ€™s counter-terror operation in Pakistan,โ€ he said, noting the strong wave of patriotic emotion witnessed in the hospitalโ€™s maternity ward.

Local social activist Rajesh Mani explained that the trend reflects a โ€œcollective emotion and shared feeling of prideโ€ in the district. โ€œA good number of families in Kushinagar and surrounding districts have a member serving in the armed forces. The naming of these children reflects deep respect for the sacrifices made,โ€ he said.

Archana Shahi from Bhedihari village, who named her daughter โ€˜Sindoorโ€™, said she had made the decision even before the childโ€™s birth. โ€œSindoor now stands for courage and resilience. This name is my way of saying thank you to our soldiers,โ€ she said, while her husband, Ajit, added, โ€œWe live in safety because of them. This is the least we could do.โ€

As these newborns begin their lives carrying a name steeped in meaning, their stories reflect a nationโ€™s gratitude and a districtโ€™s proud tribute to its defenders.
